This week we talk to Dave Menefee,
alchemist and author, about alchemy, specifically plant alchemy.
David explains what alchemy is, and how it differs from allopathic
(western) medicines. We talk about why allopathic medicine is
dragging it’s feet about the mind-body connection and how
alternative medicines take more of the whole person into account.
We also talk about the Philosopher’s Stone and Dave’s new book,
“The Soul Thief.”

N.B.: Dave mentions in the interview a CD for sale by
the Philosophers of Nature. Unfortunately, the CD and website are
no longer available. If anyone has any information about this CD,
please post in the comments.

David Menefee lives on a 41-acre
ranch with his partner Rachel Anderson in rural northern
California. David alternates between working from his home office
on websites for non-profit organizations and writing short stories
and novels. He is also a practitioner of a variety of arcane arts,
including brewing and alchemy (which are very closely related), and
he teaches a small class in theurgy for local students. David has
published book one of the "Gypsy Dreamwalker" series, "The Soul
Thief," available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. Book
two, "The God of Battles," is slated to be published in March of
2015. Rachel and David co-authored "Poems de Terre," a short
collection of poetry that's available on Amazon in hardback,
paperback and Kindle editions. Volume two will be published in
2015.
